Could Abdominal Pain Be Due To Ulcerative Colitis Or Accident?
I have ulcerative colitis and was involved in a rear-end hit and run car accident three weeks ago. I am having constant lower abdominal pain. How do I tell if the pain is from the colitis (i've been in remission 3 yrs), the actual force of the accident, stress or from the chiropracter pushing on my body twice a week trying to relieve the whip-lash?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The treatment is more important to start with than the real diagnosis... Why !! is very important but after you get a relief too.
It is better to go for a CT scan of the abdomen to see if the pain is due to some internal trauma or something else.
Also go for colonoscopy to whether the ulcerative colitis has re-started troubling you.
The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis.
